The basic gameplay is decent enough, but having to redo puzzles is awful

Pause doesn't work for me, time keeps ticking down and I can't unpause.
I like the idea, and I understand why a time pressure was added, but forcing you to replay previous levels again and again just sucks.
Also, should have explained that you can undo lines during the tutorial.
This was super inventive and I kind of loved it.
The difficulty sometimes goes down as you go to the next stage, but I'd argue that's actually a good thing, given that losing sends you back to the prior stage; mixing in an easy one in the latter levels helps keep that from being frustrating.
Taking away puzzles when you fail one is so obnoxious. Having to do a puzzle repeatedly because you're struggling on the next level is one of the most insanely unsatisfying gameplay mechanics that exists. It would be much more enjoyable to just have that puzzle reset when the timer runs out rather than making you re-do the previous one as some sort of punishment.

Crokel demands this, sorry!
I gave up at somewhat 11 level, just gets boring to get back and forth. Nice concept though
